"Not sure if this matters, but how long do we have until the sun rises."

Seiyu smiled and started walking. "Let's go! Make sure you're prepared for anything and everything."


Salene sighed. "Just go and kill that bastard already. I want to leave."

Blake sighed and nodded.

Leon merely nodded in agreement. "What's your name, by the way?"

The stranger looked around, then pointed to himself. "Who? Me? Moi?"

Evangeline hissed. "Blech. Sunlight. Horrible for my complexion...heh. Hm...probably not long, now that you mention it."

"Don't you think it's odd? It's almost sunrise . . . we're all still in this place . . . wouldn't the leader launch a full attack by now?" Kaien looked around the basement. "I have a bad feeling of what's ahead."

"He knows we're coming after him. There's no point in sending them to attack us now. He's waiting for a chance to ambush us." Seiyu smiled. "But no worries about that! I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve."

"I think you're just nuts," Blake remarked flatly, crossing his arms.

Leon made a face. "Of course, you. Who else would I be talking to?"

"Him, perhaps?" The stranger asked, gesturing to a large, albeit not supernaturally large, spider on the wall behind him.

Evangeline hissed. "I've seen this before. It may not be an ambush...he may be waiting for someone. Reinforcements."

"Reinforcements? Great . . . this just got so much better." He slightly slumped his shoulders and sighed. "We're never getting out of here are we?"

"No worries. We're here." Seiyu stopped in front of another pair of double doors. "Who's ready to kill this guy?"

Blake groaned. "I am," he mumbled. "I just want to get the hell out of this creepy place."

Leon's eyes widened and he turned around, letting out a scream. Almost immediately, he hid behind the stranger, his body trembling. "Where the heck did that come from?!"

"Now that you mention it, there are a lot of spiders around..." Evangeline said, approaching a large one on the wall. She picked it up and examined it. It did not attempt to escape. "Aha," she said, waving it around. "It's a spy! Enchanted to report back images of what we're up to."

The stranger rubbed his chin. "Surely those are not the reinforcements, if that is what he's up to. Hardly terrifying."

"Then I guess we should expect an attack as soon as we open those doors . . ." Kaien took a deep. "Kill the spider."

Seiyu turned towards the others and smiled. "I have a plan. Kill that spider and I'll tell you. I don't want him to know what it is."

Blake held back a groan and nodded. Without another word, he stabbed his dagger into the spider, almost yelping when he saw electric currents coming out of it. "What the hell?!"

Leon widened his eyes. "Well, that's fascinating," he muttered.

"Hm, interesting...I have never seen machines of that sort..." The stranger said.

"What's your plan?" Evangeline asked, completely disinterested in the spider.

"I hope I'm not involved in this plan of yours. I rather not fight," Kaien said as he took a quick glance over to Blake. He had to hold in his chuckle seeing Blake get shocked.

"Well... the plan is simple. We run in head first and Evangeline will sneak up behind and take his life. Simple, right?" Seiyu smiled and walked to the door. "Let me know when everyone's ready and I'll throw this door open."


Salene looked over to the group and let out a long sigh. "Best of luck to you all."

Blake clicked his tongue, looking annoyed. "Right. 'Luck'. I think we'll need all we can get at the moment."

Leon waved to them with a crooked smile on his face. "Have fun out there."

"Why don't you all want to fight with us?" Evangeline asked.

"I would prefer to come to a peaceful solution," the stranger said. "But I suppose I'd fight him if I must."
